Son-in-Law of the Boere

ebook

When KK falls in love with fellow teacher Katryn van der Merwe, he invokes the wrath of his whole family – dead and alive. For KK is short for Kgoroto Mashobohleng, which surely signals a mismatch. Besides which he dumped his childhood sweetheart, whom the forefathers had earmarked for his bride. Not only is Katryn very white and very Afrikaans, she is also very much a vegetarian. Soon rumours are flying about KK's village that a white woman is pulling him by the nose and made him stop eating meat. His family is horrified: What will he slaughter when they commune with the gods? A tomato? The path of love is never easy, but worse for KK as he ventures into bigoted terrain. One thing is certain: if a wedding comes of this, some nervous inlaws will be lining up on both sides of the aisle.
